CCDDI (Damage Indicator)
by SnackPirate
CCDDI draws a customizable directional damage indicator around the crosshair, pointing toward nearby sources of damage.
What it does
The indicator appears around the crosshair and points toward the source of incoming damage, so a player can see where a hit came from without relying on the camera shake that vanilla Minecraft uses for the same purpose. The effect is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs the mod.
CCDDI exposes its settings through YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), with Mod Menu providing the entry point. Position and appearance can be adjusted, and a player can choose their own textures for the indicator. Both dependencies must be installed next to CCDDI for it to load.
Files are published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and the latest file 1.1.1 for 1.21.1 released on 2024-09-01. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and source code and an issue tracker are public. The author has considered a NeoForge 1.20.1 port, but none is published.
Key features
Directional damage indicator
A marker around the crosshair points toward nearby damage sources, so the direction of a hit can be read at a glance.
Configurable position and appearance
The indicator's placement and look can be changed through the settings screen, so it can sit where the player prefers.
Custom textures
Players can swap in their own textures for the indicator instead of using the default image.
Heads-up display
The indicator is drawn as part of the on-screen interface alongside the crosshair, rather than moving the camera.

Use cases
Combat awareness in open areas
A player exploring open terrain can tell at a glance which direction an arrow, mob or trap is hitting from.
Replacing camera shake
Players who find the vanilla camera shake disorienting can rely on a fixed on-screen marker instead.
Who it’s for: Players who want a clearer sense of where incoming damage originates, and those who prefer to set the indicator's look and position themselves.
